Thank you Governor for your goodness, you excellence and your efforts to save
this country from becoming another Greece. You were rejected by people far less
worthy of the American dream than yourself! God bless you!

It is not true I would have voted for Romney if I could have seen in his heart.
Why? He would have required sacrifice from the poor and middle class in the form
of cuts to Social Security without asking any sacrifice from the rich.

We are in this mess because of needless and costly war that has gone on too
long. Tackle the deficit by avoiding costly war in the future, not by taking a
bite out of the middle class.

I really like how Utah GOP Chairman Thomas Wright thinks: “We don’t
need to adjust our positions to win elections." Wright also said he believes
Republicans share his view that social issues aren’t always as important
as economic issues.

Keep playing that tune, Tom. That way we can
ensure a long and successful string of Democratic victories.

Romney and Ryan ran a very dishonest campaign. I expected/hoped for better from
a Mormon. The game of politics can be very destructive to the soul if you
let it.

We need to amend the Constitution with some campaign
reforms so our legislators can get back to legislating instead of raising money.
Maybe we'll get different candidates as well if money is taken out of the
equation.

Mitt Romney is a decent, honest and reasonable man. His intentions for this
nation are good. I hope some day his party starts to see value in some of his
ideas. I appreciate the effort he has put into public service.

For those of you who think Romney is out of touch and attacking the middle
class, you don't know anything about Obama if you think he isn't doing
that exact thing.

@Bill McGee,This President's term in
office has been anything but successful. And there will definitely be no string
of victories because after 4 more years of this ailing economy and an unraveling
of U.S. foreign policy, this country will be begging for someone to lead it in a
different direction. I am just totally appalled that the American people
weren't to that point this go around.

The consumers have out numbered the producers, and we
have let a golden opportunity slip away. I knew Mitt back in 1964-5, so I
wasn't fooled by how he was portrayed.

He gave away all of his
inheritance, and worked his way through college. It was Stanford at the time,
then on to a mission to France. He also worked to help three others pay
tuition, and was an eagle scout, and I'm good friends with his Boy Scout
leader. Our country missed out.

You ran a classy, near-perfect
campaign. It could not have been done any better.

The combination of
things beyond your control - a hurricane, a hostile national media who not only
were lapdogs for your opponent but created a filter difficult to get past, a
billion dollars spent by your opponent to viciously attack your reputation and
character, and a cover-up by the media of a major scandal a month before the
election that would have sunk any other President had they been a Republican -
was just too much.

And, unfortunately, a very large share our
electorate would rather take money from the earnings of their fellow citizens
through checks they receive from the government, than work for the things they
get.

I would love to see Mitt Romney run again, and hope the Romneys
will reconsider.

To imply the majority of the country was not worthy shows why he lost & the
GOP lost. Just goes to prove the rest of the country could see through his
constant lying, cheating and demeaning statements. He was not fit to lead the
country and the majority of the people knew that plain & simple.

@worf et alMy husband was in Vietnam FIGHTING for his country while Romney
was in Paris serving his mission. By his own words he lived in a
"palatial" home for his entire mission. My husband was slogging it out
in a country where you couldn't tell the ARVN from the enemy. Children
carried assault weapons. Soldiers are still fighting nightmares and PTSD from
that horrific war. So what does Romney do after returning from his
mission. He joins coaltions in favor of this "righteous" (once again
his words) war!The American public including me TRIED to understand his
"plans" for turning the country around. He REFUSED to give specifics!
He would change his position so often that I didn't know if he just lacked
character or was trying to appease whatever audience he was in front of! We NEVER knew what was in his heart. It was like nailing (green) jello to a
tree. Romney, Akins, Mourdough, Tom Smth, John (You LIe) Walsh...you lost your
own elections. We should have stayed with Jon Huntsman Jr. At least we knew
his ideas and plans!

Romney tried to reinvent himself as a tea party candidate and it didn't
work. He governed MA as moderate republican. He should have stayed true to who
he really is instead of pandering to the far right in order to win the
nomination. It was the hispanic vote that cost him the election and that is
undisputable. America is and always has been a diverse nation. As long as
the Republicans embrace the mean spirited and racially motivated immigration
policies they will continue to lose politcal power. This is a defining momemt
for Republicans. Are Republicans the party of the white middle class and
wealthy or this are they willing to reach out to minority voters who are
rejectig them in large numbers. Time will tell. One last thought why was Ryan
chosen for VP over Rubio who would have been a better choice.

How can dozens of people come on here and say "Romney is a decent and honest
man." The number one reason that I wouldn't, couldn't vote for
him were the lies and half truths. That is not an honest man talking. That
is a panderer trying to do anything to get elected.

I wanted to
like Mr Romney. I tried to like Mr Romney, but the more I learned of him from
his own words, from his own mouth, the more convinced I became that this was a
typical politician that would do or say anything to get elected.

Don't keep telling me how honest Mr Romney is because frankly, I never
saw the honest Mr Romney is this year's campaign. Perhaps if he had been
honest, things would be different today. If he really is the good person that
all of you claim, he should have campaigned as a good person. He made light of
unemployment, when millions of us are suffering. He made light of poverty
claiming to have lived it. In general the truth was a missing commodity in his
campaign.

His personal circle may see a very different Mitt Romney than the one I voted
against. I saw a man whose business experience involved enriching himself at the
expensive of the hard-working, middle-class people he threw out of work when he
purchased and gutted their companies. I saw a man who wanted to deprive millions
of people of health care. I saw a man who supported, then opposed, abortion
rights. I saw a man who supported, then opposed, gay rights. I saw a man with no
concept of how people lived who couldn't afford an elevator for their car.
I saw a man without any core values. He may have them, but what are they?I'd love to see a Mormon in the White House, but not Mitt Romney.
I'm very grateful that President Obama has been re-elected.Yes,
I'm an active member of the Church. I'm a U.S. citizen, currently
working and living in Canada.

The Republican party in Utah and the nation have some serious rethinking on how
they address the important issues. The Republican party assumed that they could
give the straight story about the needs of budget issues and social issues.
Those things are based on a balance. You can't have the one side
overbalance the other side. The Democrats on the other hand want to use the
fear with the social issues being taken away and the budget not being a problem
for any of the entitlements. Europe has had these social and budget issues for
a long time.

These issues have to be addressed but every President
since George Bush I said, "No more taxes", which was a good philosophy,
the people of the Democratic party have derided anyone that would talk about
adding taxes.

If you give more entitlements and benefits to people,
who are just like the sea gulls waiting for the ship to throw off their garbage,
they will lose their desire to go out and work for their food and shelter.

Our country and states do not throw people out the door. We ensure
people are taken care of and there is a system.

Don't kid yourself. Even his election night gathering was an elitist
affair. The man has no clue about the middle class and how most Americans deal
with life's difficulties. He was Thurston Howell, III all the way through
the end.
